Title: Wiltshire Militia - Napoleonic Wars
Post by: Bonzo Kelly on Saturday 05 February 11 20:17 GMT (UK)

I'm hoping that someone who has researched an ancestor who served in the Wiltshire Militia can tell me the locations where the regiment was stationed during the Napoleonic Wars.

I have an ancestor in a different militia regiment whose movement I traced during this period using the muster rolls at The National Archives. The regiment changed its location quite frequently (but being a militia regiment never served overseas).

If the muster rolls have survived at Kew, they give the location on a month to month basis.
